Merrick here...
Early last month, Brett Ratner did an interview with MTV regarding BEVERLY HILLS COP 4.
A particular quote in the interview lead many to the logical conclusion that the new BHC project would have a considerably softer tone/rating than its predecessors.
When asked what is biggest challenge would be, Ratner seemed to indicate that his new film would be geared towards a very PG audience.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I really flipped for THE WACKNESS when I saw it at Sundance way back in January. As someone who was almost scared off by the premise (wiggery teen sells drugs over a summer in the early ‘90s), I’m telling you that this movie has heart, laughs, sensuality and charisma with charm to spare.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I fell in love with AMERICAN TEEN at Sundance this year. Just like last year's fantastic documentary THE KING OF KONG, I've been singing this film's praises to everybody who will listen. It's one of those rare documentaries that is so involving that you forget you're watching a documentary.

Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here. I had the distinct pleasure recently of talking to not only an accomplished actor, but also one of the three men (along with Gary Sinise and Jeff Perry) who founded the Steppenwolf Theatre company here in Chicago. I'll let Terry explain later how Steppenwolf (and other companies birthed in Chicago during the early 1970s) changed the face of theater in Chicago and the nation.

Merrick again...
This has already been referenced in Talkbacks, but for those who haven't heard, Kino (who released the 2002 restoration of the film (available HERE) just indicated that their previously announced Blu-Ray of METROPOLIS will now include all of the recovered/lost footage. It will be available on standard DVD as well.

I don't know where the subtitle went either. But did you really think you'd see PORT OF CALL: NEW ORLEANS on your local megaplex marquee? Does you local megaplex even have a marquee?

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I was turned onto Eric Powell's THE GOON early last year and have been keeping up with it regularly. It's a twisted and fucking hilarious series following a deformed hard case as he deals with the undead, Lovecraftian creatures and gypsy curses. Think a depression-era Hellboy with an even more twisted sense of humor.

Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here. This film may not be new to some of the overseas readers (I saw a legit DVD import of this movie at a horror convention over the weekend, so I know some of you have probably seen this already), but I wanted to go on the record as a rabid supporter of this fantastic work by one of the true inventors of modern horror. We've been running reviews of it since late last year, but it's now slowly making its way across the country in art houses, and opens here in Chicago this Friday.
